Gossamer Forum: Products: DBMan: Customization: Modifying

I tried using this mod once, but ran into the same problem. My first idea was to display only the fields you want to see and have the rest "hidden".

I'd do something like below in your build_html_mult_record_form sub:

if ($view_search) {
if ($in{bat1}) {print qq| <input type="text" name="$field">|;} else {print qq|<input type="hidden" name="$field">|;}

}

However, I don't think the multiple record mod works in that manner (does it?). It's one of those I have trouble hacking.

The solution will most likely lie in this bit of the sub:

elsif ($db_form_len{$field} =~
/(\d+)x(\d+)/) { $output .= qq~<tr><td align=right valign=top width=20%><$font>$field:</font></td><td width=80%><textarea wrap="virtual" name="$name" cols="$1" rows="$2">$rec{$field}</textarea></td></tr>\n~; }
elsif ($db_form_len{$field} == -1) { $output = qq~<input type=hidden name="$field" value="$rec{$field}">\n$output~; }
elsif ($db_form_len{$field} == -2) { $per_admin ? ($output .= qq~<tr><td align=right valign=top width=20%><$font>$field:</font></td><td width=80%><input type=text name="$field" value="$rec{$field}" maxlength="$db_lengths{$field}"></td></tr>~) :
($output = qq~<input type=hidden name="$field" value="$rec{$field}">$output~); }
else { $output .= qq~<tr><td align=right valign=top width=20%><$font>$field:</font></td><td width=80%><input type=text name="$name" value="$rec{$field}" size="$db_form_len{$field}" maxlength="$db_lengths{$field}"></td></tr>\n~; }
}
$output .= "</table></p>\n";
return $output;
